ReactOS is made for x86 architecture ... IT are ARM based ...

if you read the site a bit more, you will see this. 
On which processors will ReactOS run?
ReactOS currently only supports the x86 processor architecture, although a PowerPC port is in the planning stage. ReactOS will run on Intel(R) Pentium(R) x64, Intel Xeon(R) x64, AMD(R) Athlon(R) x64 and AMD Opteron(R) processors in 32-bit mode, but the 64-bit functionality of these processors is not currently supported.

Damn... you're right...
Wouldn't it be possible to compile it for ITs, so that it will also run with ARM-processors!?
Please check this: http://www.reactos.org/en/dev_compile.html
I have not that experience with linux so i can't try it by myself - but i still hope that there will be a way to do it...

Supposing you could compile it, it would still only run win32/arm binaries, of which 0 exist.

I think many (maybe most) people that bought the IT did so because it's a linux device. I personally bought it because I want to learn more about linux. There's plenty of Windows CE or such devices that fill the windows handheld need. Maybe that's what you're looking for...

I had some MDAs (some kinda "mobilephone-PDAs") before.
This devices always run windows mobile and this OS is extremly slow... Maemo is faster!
I think it would be great to have an tiny UMPC for 250$...

I'd say go beg someone to port Wine for KDE.

Wine won't work on the IT, because, as Benson said, there's no such thing as Windows applications compiled for the ARM chip. Wine needs an x86 chip to work.

Ahh, I didn't know that.
Would there be some sort of way to emulate x86 architecture?

I would like to know what you think about reactOS (http://www.reactos.com) and if it's possible to port it to the IT...
It is actually pretty fast - also on slow machines (like the IT) - and you can just install alot of windows-compatible applications on it - like the hole moz-stuff (firefox and so on)...
